windows longhorn anyone???
bye now almost everybuddy nows about the new and upcoming windows os code name "Long Horn"
some f.a.q from http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/longhorn_preview_2004.asp
New guidance on the delivery of Longhorn
Longhorn will ship in 2006, Microsoft says. But take that to mean it could happen in late 2006: Instead, Longhorn will be "broadly available" in 2006. That means that Longhorn will be available in early 2006, not in the waning days of that year. "We're providing guidance and clarity on the target release date," Sullivan told me, "which is something we'd never done before. We did issue some guidance on the beta releases, but not on the final release. So that's new. The clarification of our roadmap is good for customers, especially enterprise customers. The implication of our use of the language 'broadly available' is that we're targeting the first half of 2006, and are expecting it to happen around mid-2006. That clarification is a good thing."
In an email message to all full-time employees on August 27, Microsoft group vice president Jim Allchin said that the company's customers "love our vision" but just wanted parts of it to be delivered sooner. He said that Microsoft will deliver the following in 2006:
The highest quality OS we have ever shipped
New information management tools to improve productivity, including fast desktop search and new, intuitive ways to organize files
Major security advances that build on Windows XP SP2, such as new technologies to make clients more resilient to attack, viruses and malware
Flexible and powerful tools to reduce deployment costs for enterprise customers, including technologies for image creation, editing and installation; and much simpler upgrades for consumers
Significant improvements in reliability, including a robust diagnostic infrastructure to detect, analyze and fix problems quickly, and new backup tools to keep data safe
A platform that creates Developer excitement with the availability of rich APIs [application programming interfaces]
"Our commitment to broad availability of the Longhorn client in 2006 and broadening the API set underscores our long-term vision for the Windows platform, and our desire to deliver high-quality innovations that our customers and developers are asking for in a timely fashion," he said. "We will not cut corners on product excellence. Our powerful vision is intact; our shipment plan changes will let customers get access to parts of the vision faster."
